Josh Reviews the First New Star Trek Short: “Runaways”
In the next few months, before the launch of Star Trek: Discovery season two, we’re going to get four new “Short Treks,” Star Trek short films. I love this idea. The people currently running CBS and Trek these days have made a number of statements to the press ab
Josh Reviews Brockmire Season Two!

Josh Reviews Netflix’s Jack Ryan: Season One
I loved The Hunt for Red October when I first saw it when it was released back in 1990, and to this day it remains one of my very favorite movies. None of the follow-up Jack Ryan films was able to match it. I like the two Harrison Ford films (Patriot Games and Clear and […]
Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season Four Part One!
I’ve enjoyed Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt right from the get-go, and I’m bummed that this fourth season has been announced as the last. (I am hoping that rumors of a concluding movie aren’t just wishful thinking!) This fourth season so far shows that the show remain

Josh Bids Farewell to The Americans!
I started watching The Americans very soon after I’d finished watching Breaking Bad, and right away from the pilot episode I was struck by the similarity of the set-up: Philip and Elizabeth Jennings had to hide their criminal activities from Stan Beeman, their FBI-agent neighbor

Josh Reviews Season Five of Brooklyn Nine-Nine!
In a tumultuous week right before its season five finale aired, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was unceremoniously cancelled by Fox… and then, a few days later, miraculously resurrected by NBC who announced that they’d be picking up the show for a thirteen-episode sixth season. Huzz
Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Five!
I was somewhat late to the party with Silicon Valley, but I loved the show when I started watching it last year, and I quickly devoured the first four seasons. I was so happy that I didn’t have too long to wait before season five. As the season begins, the Pied Piper gang ar
